Daskalothanassis P s o r y p S President David G. Horner, who took the reins of The American College of Greece on July 1, 2008, has made a big dif - y h p a ference at all the institutions he has served. Now, five months into his presidency, he is on his way to doing the same r g o thing at ACG. In an interview with ACG Magazine, Dr. Horner discussed the circumstances that brought him from t o h Boston to Athens, and how he views the role of president at an institution like ACG. P Interview here is a popular saying that life is what unfolds while you are making Tother plans. Last winter, perched in his warm Boston office at the executive search firm whose academic division he headed, Dr. David G. Horner had no im - mediate plans to spend even a few days in Greece – let alone his foreseeable fu - ture. But, unbeknownst to him, here in Athens and in the offices and homes of trustees of The American College of Greece around the United States, events and discussions were unfolding, and mental connections being made, that would align with Dr. Horner’s past to link the veteran educator to the future of the College. There was the search for a new president of the College which had proven fruitless until that point; the professional and personal association of Horner and ACG trustee Dr. Charles Cook – former director of the Commission on Higher Education of the New England As - sociation of Schools and Colleges, which a major institution like The American Col - President Horner with students from accredits ACG; Dr. Horner’s reputation as a lege of Greece is quite different from the Deree College. higher education leader who had man - average job search as we know it.

However, literary sources, sacred laws and various engravings stipulate that such land was not to be leased out. Theoretically, only ordinary territory provided reve nue to religious sanctuaries, but available docu ments do not always make it pos sible to distinguish between the two types of land. Nonetheless, when sacred ground was farmed, it was no lon ger perceived as part of the religious landscape. Distinguishing markers were thus necessary to differentiate between sacred and common ground.

    TUBERCULOSIS IN GREECE An Experiment in the Relief and Rehabilitation of a Country By J. B. McDOUGALL, C.B.E., M.D., F.R.C.P. (Ed.), F.R.S.E.; Late Consultant in Tuberculosis, Greece, UNRRA INTRODUCTION In Greece, we follow the traditions of truly great men in all branches of science, and in none more than in the science of medicine. Charles Singer has rightly said - "Without Herophilus, we should have had no Harvey, and the rise of physiology might have been delayed for centuries. Had Galen's works not survived, Vesalius would have never reconstructed anatomy, and surgery too might have stayed behind with her laggard sister, Medicine. The Hippo- cratic collection was the necessary and acknowledged basis for the work of the greatest of modern clinical observers, Sydenham, and the teaching of Hippocrates and his school is still the substantial basis of instruction in the wards of a modern hospital." When we consider the paucity of the raw material with which the Father of Medicine had to work-the absence of the precise scientific method, a population no larger than that of a small town in England, the opposition of religious doctrines and dogma which concerned themselves largely with the healing art, and a natural tendency to speculate on theory rather than to face the practical problems involved-it is indeed remarkable that we have been left a heritage in clinical medicine which has never been excelled. Nearly 2,000 years elapsed before any really vital advances were made on the fundamentals as laid down by the Hippocratic School.

  • The Emigration of Muslims from the Greek State in the 19Th Century
    BALCANICA POSNANIENSIA XXVII Poznań 2020 THE EMIGRATION OF MUSLIMS FROM THE GREEK STATE 1 IN THE 19TH CENTURy. AN OUTLINE kr z y s z t o f Po P e k Abstract. Modern Greek statehood began to take shape with the War of Independence that broke out in 1821 and continued with varying intensity for the next years. As a result of these events, the Greeks cast of the foreign rule, which for many not only meant separation from the Ottoman Empire, but also the expulsion of Muslims living in these lands. During the uprising, about 25 000 Muslims lost their lives, and a similar number emigrated from the territory of the future Greek state. The next great exodus of Muslims from Greek lands was related to the an- nexation of Thessaly by the Hellenic Kingdom, which was to a larger extent spread over time. Since the region was incorporated into Greece until the beginning of the 20th century, the 40 000-strong Islamic community had virtually disappeared.
